Lafayette TV stations KATC-TV and KLFY-TV are both reporting that Brandon Scott Lavergne has pleaded 'not guilty' to the murders of Mickey Shunick and Lisa Pate.

As we reported last week, Brandon Lavergne was indicted by a grand jury in Lafayette for the first degree murder of the still-missing Mickey Shunick. But in a shocking twist in the case, Lavergne was also charged with the first degree murder of Lisa Pate, an Acadia Parish woman who was found dead in 1999. Now the Lafayette Parish District attorney is saying that both cases may be tried together.

It's not much, but all of us who are still hoping that Mickey Shunick will still be found can help in some small way tonight. Mickey's family is asking for a mass moment of silence at 10 p.m. tonight, and they're also asking you to show your support by turning on your porch lights or lighting a candle.  If nothing else, it at least brings some positive energy to a sad story.
